The torpedo boat destroyer Racehorse (1900) under way off Zeebrugge.

A very distant starboard broadside view of the torpedo boat destroyer HMS Racehorse (1900) under way off Zeebrugge. On the horizon to the right of Racehorse is a port broadside view of an unidentified torpedo boat destroyer under way.

The wash from the light cruiser HMS Aurora (1913) is in the foreground.

Aurora's log records her arriving off Dunkirk on 9 June from Harwich. She patrolled the nets off the Belgian Coast on 11 June. Aurora spent the remaining days between 12 June and 18 June patrolling from Dunkirk. She returned to Harwich on 19 June 1916.
